Chapter 289: The Heart is Like a Needle Eye
"Comrade Xiao Su, I'm not saying anything bad about you, but look at what time it is now. Why are you here just now?"
Su Xiaoxiao knew the voice without turning around, it must be Manager Liu.
Liu Changjiang walked over with his hands behind his back, in a square step, with a serious expression.
In fact, he was very happy in his heart. Damn girl, he got the chance so soon.
Let her not give him face yesterday!
Su Xiaoxiao raised her hand and glanced at the watch on her wrist. The time was exactly half past seven.
Manager Liu was obviously hostile to her, so there was no need for her to be nice to him.
She immediately pointed to the numbers on her watch and said, "Manager Liu, it's exactly 7:30 now. I'm not late for a minute or a second. Is there a problem?"
"Who says it's okay if you're not late? As a salesperson in a department store, you should at least come in ten minutes early to prepare for the day's work. You always come in late, which means you're not proactive at work!"
Su Xiaoxiao wanted to roll her eyes. After all, when modern beasts of burden were ordered around by their superiors, the superiors would still give them a symbolic promise.
Manager Liu is quite good. He just doesn't even bother to talk.
"Manager Liu, I'm working according to our department store's business hours. I'm not late or leave early. How can I be considered unproactive? If you think there's something wrong with these working hours, please report it to the general manager. Why are you making things difficult for a small salesperson like me?"
"you!"
Manager Liu was so angry that his heart ached, but he couldn't refute. Why was this little girl so sharp-tongued?
He couldn't win the argument with reason, and with so many people looking at him as a leader, he felt too embarrassed to swear, so he could only turn around and walk away with a lot of anger in his heart.
This damn girl, he will kick her out sooner or later.
Zhang Yulan looked at Su Xiaoxiao enviously from the side. If only she could be like this girl, she wouldn't always suffer at the hands of an old woman.
Just as she was thinking about it, she saw Su Xiaoxiao turn around and look at her, smiling and pointing two fingers at her, but she didn't know what it meant.
Zhang Yulan smiled, and her mood, which had been suppressed for the whole morning, felt much better.
"Humph, Su Xiaoxiao, why are you so hated? You dare to offend Manager Liu? Who do you think you are? Be careful or you'll be fired tomorrow."
Zhang Dongmei mocked Su Xiaoxiao from a distance. The dead girl had been in the limelight recently. She was seconded and helped the department store get a sewing machine. It made her very upset.
She was so happy to see this girl get humiliated.
"Sister Zhang, did you hear that dog barking? It's so unpleasant."
Su Xiaoxiao scratched her ears with a look of disgust.
“Su Xiaoxiao!”
Zhang Dongmei was so angry that she wanted to pounce on the little girl and bite her to death.
The farce early in the morning did not affect Su Xiaoxiao's mood at all.
Anyway, she is going on a business trip tomorrow, so Manager Liu can do whatever he wants. Out of sight, out of mind.
After a busy day, it’s soon time to get off work, the most anticipated time of the day.
Su Xiaoxiao started packing up on time. Manager Liu came over with his hands behind his back and saw this scene. He frowned, snorted coldly, and turned away.
How come such a big leader has such a narrow mind?
She secretly clicked her tongue, thinking about her business trip tomorrow, and raised her voice: "Manager Liu, I'm going on a business trip tomorrow and won't be coming to the department store."
Manager Liu walked away with his hands behind his back without even saying a word to her.
Su Xiaoxiao didn't care. She had already said it before, so it was his business whether he heard it or not.
Qin Shuang came over and stuffed a net bag of things into her arms.
Su Xiaoxiao looked down and saw a bag full of big red apples, at least seven or eight.
Just looking at the color makes it delicious.
"Xiaoxiao, take this home to eat. It's brought by relatives who came to visit us, and there's too much to finish."
Qin Shuang was afraid that she would not accept it, so he hurried to explain.
"Okay, I won't be polite then."
Su Xiaoxiao put the things away, and just as she finished putting them away, she saw Zhang Yulan coming over.
Looking at Su Xiaoxiao, she forced a smile: "Xiaoxiao, I'm sorry, I can't give you the money for your watch until a few days."
"It's okay, Sister Zhang, don't worry."
Even if he didn't give it to her, Su Xiaoxiao wouldn't care, because it was something she had intended to give away anyway.
She looked at Zhang Yulan suspiciously, feeling that something was not right with her today. She was usually a cheerful person, but she didn't smile much today.
Glancing at Sister Zhang's empty wrist, he couldn't help but call out, "Sister Zhang, is that the electronic watch on your wrist?"
Yesterday, when Zhang Yulan received the electronic watch, she liked it very much and couldn't let it go after wearing it on her wrist. Why did it disappear today?
"It's okay. I left it at home this morning."
Zhang Yulan said casually, obviously not wanting to say more.
It's obvious that something's wrong.
The two looked at each other, not knowing how to start.
"Shuangshuang, I'll be away for the next two days. Please keep an eye on Sister Zhang. She seems a little off. I wonder if she's in trouble."
Before parting, she said to Qin Shuang worriedly.
"Don't worry, I'll pay more attention."
…
Su Xiaoxiao was riding her bike towards home. When she passed the village entrance, she saw a familiar figure from afar.
She is not tall, has two pigtails, and has a dark skin. Who else could it be but Zhang Dongmei?
There was a tall and slender young woman standing in front of Zhang Dongmei, but her back was facing away from her and her appearance could not be seen clearly.
Su Xiaoxiao didn't get along with this person and subconsciously wanted to ride away on her bike, but she didn't expect Zhang Dongmei to see her first.
"Su Xiaoxiao, what are you looking at? Don't think that just because you've become a little famous in the department store, you don't know who you are."
She originally just wanted to leave quietly, but this person insisted on causing trouble.
Su Xiaoxiao turned the car around and sped towards Zhang Dongmei.
“Ahhh…Su Xiaoxiao, you’re crazy!”
Zhang Dongmei screamed and hurriedly pulled the woman in front of her away.
Su Xiaoxiao made a smooth sharp turn and rode away next to the two of them.
Zhang Dongmei finally reacted and was so angry that she jumped up and down and cursed behind him.
Su Xiaoxiao pretended not to hear and told her to keep her mouth shut. Next time she would just bump into him.
When I got home, as soon as I entered the yard, I saw Liu Cuilan sitting in the yard making pancakes on a griddle. She had already made a large stack of them, and they were made of white flour.
"Mom, why are you baking so many cookies?"
Unexpectedly, Liu Cuilan came back earlier than her today. She smelled the fragrance in the air and felt a little hungry.
Liu Cuilan put the pancakes on the griddle and replied, "I'll give them to you to eat on the road. Steamed bread gets hard when it gets cold. This is convenient and delicious. I'll also bring some pickled vegetables or something."
As the saying goes, a mother worries about her child even when he is thousands of miles away. This is because she is afraid that her child will be hungry.
"Mom, there's no need to go through so much trouble. There are lunch boxes on the train, and they'll provide meals for you once you get there."
"The boxed lunches on the train are so expensive, and they may not even be as delicious as the pancakes my mom makes. They're made with white flour and are so fragrant."
Liu Cuilan's hands kept moving. As the two were talking, the gate of the courtyard was pushed open.
She looked up at the person who came and her face immediately fell.
"What are you doing here? Is there something wrong?"
